Casual Cosplay: Kerons

I bought T-shirts from Michael's again ($2.50, gotta love it), and cut out a big white felt "belly". Sew the emblem onto the belly, and then figure out how to attach the belly to the shirt...

I really didn't want it to pucker, so we bought some no-sew adhesive spray to iron the the belly on.

I followed that up with a quick sew around the border, just so it's secure. Pretty simple! Repeat for all four shirts~

Giroro's (red) shirt is pretty cool - he has a buckle belt instead of an emblem - fully removable!

This method would also totally work for Care Bear Shirts. Haha!

I only wish I would have made the belly size dependent on the shirt size..it looks okay on the large shirt, but it's huge on the small shirt! They are also very..stiff. Since it's felt and all, it kinda makes the wearer (me) look chunky. That's right - blame the shirt! Haha!

Anyway, here's the look with the hat and a skirt made with leftover material (using this method).

I'm really glad to find this; my 4 yr old wants to be a "Soldier Frog" for Halloween (unless she decides to be the Lorax. Or Thor. Or the unholy offspring of Thor and the Lorax, the Thorax) and since she's not sure which she wants to be, and this looks pretty simple, I can make her outfits for all 4 and she can wear them as jammies besides. Oh, wait, there are 5? Really?
